Sexuality Counseling
The Sexuality Counseling track is primarily for healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. Professionals are able to provide counseling related to questions about sexual functioning, health, problems as well as provide solid up-to-date information. Participants report that after completing the program, they see a strong increase in referrals of patients with sexual difficulties. Some report that they have a greatly expanded role in sexual counseling in their clinics or agencies. One full year of post-graduate work is required. Throughout the program you will:
- attend 11 classes
- have the opportunity to earn 165 AASECT CE contact hours, 165 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™, and social workers may receive 165 CE contact hours
The 2025 cohort is full and we are no longer accepting applications. If you are interested in being notified when the application opens for the 2026 cohort, please request to join our mailing list. Thank you!
